Enctr for ex of eyes and vis fol fail vis scrn w/o abn find

This code signifies a patient visit for a follow-up eye and vision examination prompted by an initial failed vision screening. Crucially, the subsequent comprehensive examination reveals no underlying ocular abnormalities or vision problems. It indicates that the initial screening result was a false positive or resolved upon further assessment.

Use this code when a patient, often a child, is referred for an eye exam after failing a school or primary care vision screening, but the ophthalmologist or optometrist finds no refractive error, strabismus, amblyopia, or other eye conditions. It is appropriate for documenting the resolution of a screening concern without a definitive diagnosis.

• Always sequence this code as the primary diagnosis when no other eye condition is identified.
• Do not use this code if the follow-up exam does reveal an abnormal finding; instead, code the specific eye condition.
• Ensure documentation clearly states the reason for the encounter was a failed screening and that the subsequent exam was normal.
